Kendale Lakes: Between the Hammocks and the Turnpike
Kendale Lakes sits at the intersection of two Miami-Dade geographies: the older, more established southwestern residential corridors that developed in the 1970s and 1980s, and the newer planned communities that expanded west of the Turnpike from the 1990s onward. The ZIP code 33183 covers the area east of SW 137th Avenue and south of Kendall Drive, while 33193 extends further west into communities near SW 152nd Street.
The primary commercial landmark for the area is the Hammocks Town Center, located near SW 137th Avenue and Hammocks Boulevard (SW 40th Street), which serves as the de facto center of activity for Kendale Lakes and adjacent neighborhoods. Kendale Lakes Park on SW 133rd Avenue is another anchor. The neighborhood is predominantly residential, with a mix of single-story concrete block homes from the 1970s and 1980s alongside newer townhome developments built in the 2000s.
Kendale Lakes is adjacent to The Hammocks, one of the larger master-planned communities in South Florida, which extends into the 33183 and 33193 ZIP codes. Many Kendale Lakes residents live in Hammocks-affiliated gated communities, including those along SW 142nd Avenue and Hammocks Boulevard. These communities have security-controlled entries that require advance truck authorization.
Navigating Kendale Lakes as a Moving Zone
The area has a mix of open-access residential streets and gated community entries. The older neighborhoods east of SW 137th Avenue are largely open, with direct street access for a moving truck. The newer townhome communities west of the Turnpike are predominantly gated with security checkpoints.
SW 137th Avenue is the main north-south corridor through the area, and it can back up significantly during the morning and afternoon commute hours between Kendale Drive and SW 40th Street. For Kendale Lakes moves, we recommend morning start times (7:30 to 8:00 AM) to complete the loading phase before the mid-morning traffic build. The drive from Kendale Lakes to most Miami-Dade destination zones runs 20 to 40 minutes depending on direction and time of day.
Many Kendale Lakes homes are two-story townhomes, particularly in the communities along SW 147th Avenue and the cluster around SW 152nd Street and SW 137th Avenue. Two-story moves add approximately 30 to 45 minutes to the loading phase compared to a single-story home of the same bedroom count, because staircase navigation slows each furniture carry.

What Every Kendale Lakes Move Includes
Gated community coordination: we contact the security office or HOA during booking and complete advance authorization before moving day. The crew arrives with their access information confirmed.
Full furniture protection: moving blankets and stretch wrap on all pieces before they leave the home. Disassembly and reassembly of all standard furniture at no additional charge. Hardware bagged and labeled.
On moving day, the team lead walks the origin with you before loading begins. For two-story townhomes, the walkthrough confirms the plan for staircase navigation and identifies any oversized pieces that may need to be angled or disassembled to clear the stairwell. This prevents on-the-fly problem solving during the move.
Payment is collected after the move is complete. No deposit required to reserve the date.
Kendale Lakes in Context: What the Neighborhood Is Like
Kendale Lakes occupies a geographic middle ground in southwest Miami-Dade: more developed than the far western reaches of West Kendall, less established than the older South Kendall neighborhoods east of the Turnpike. The community grew primarily in the 1970s through the 1990s, with the older sections east of SW 137th Avenue being single-story concrete block homes and the newer sections in 33193 being predominantly two-story townhomes and planned community developments.
The Hammocks is the most significant planned community in the Kendale Lakes area. It spans the ZIP codes 33183 and 33193 and includes several thousand residential units across gated and non-gated sections. Hammocks Boulevard (SW 40th Street) is the primary commercial spine, connecting the community to the Hammocks Town Center. Residents in The Hammocks frequently move within the community as their household size changes, and we handle move-in and move-out coordination with Hammocks community management as a routine part of Kendale Lakes bookings.
Other notable communities in the area include the developments along SW 142nd Avenue, the townhome communities near SW 152nd Street and SW 8th Street, and the mixed-use corridor approaching Kendall Drive from the west. Each has its own HOA and access protocols. We know most of these protocols from previous moves and handle the authorization during booking.
Common Move Patterns in Kendale Lakes
Move-up from townhome to single-family. A common Kendale Lakes pattern is a family that started in a two-bedroom townhome, expanded, and is moving to a three or four-bedroom single-family home either within the area or in nearby South Kendall. These moves are local Miami-Dade moves and are among our most frequent route bookings. The origin is typically a gated townhome community; the destination is a South Kendall or Pinecrest single-family home with open access.
Intra-community moves within The Hammocks. Moving from one unit to another within the same gated community in Kendale Lakes requires coordination with both the origin and destination addresses for truck access. We handle this as a single booking with dual access authorization.
What the Booking Process Looks Like for Kendale Lakes
Call or submit a request with your addresses, bedroom count, move date, and whether the origin or destination is in a gated community. We confirm the specific community name and initiate access authorization during booking. You receive a written quote with crew size, hourly rate, and time estimate. The crew calls 30 minutes before arrival on moving day. Payment is after the move is complete.
Frequently Asked Questions: Movers in Kendale Lakes, FL
Is Kendale Lakes part of Kendall?
Kendale Lakes is sometimes grouped with Kendall colloquially, but it is a distinct unincorporated community within Miami-Dade County. The ZIP codes 33183 and 33193 cover the Kendale Lakes area, while Kendall proper uses 33176, 33186, and other codes. We serve both areas with the same crew and the same rates.
Do you move in The Hammocks communities within 33183 and 33193?
Yes. We move in Hammocks communities including those along Hammocks Boulevard, SW 142nd Avenue, and the gated sections near SW 152nd Street. We know the access process for these communities and initiate advance authorization during booking.
What if I need to move both levels of a two-story townhome?
All levels of a townhome are included in the same move. The crew handles both floors as part of the standard job. The additional staircase time is factored into the written quote time estimate so there are no surprises.
Can you store my furniture if I need a gap between my move-out and move-in dates?
We do not offer storage services. If you need a gap between your origin and destination dates, we recommend arranging a short-term storage unit through a local storage facility and scheduling two separate moves, one out of the origin and one into the destination.
